A Wound Sustained

Let us muse today from Proverbs 18:14 and 17:22 and the subject of A Wound Sustained. In 18:14b the question is asked, ‘A wounded spirit who can bear?’ The question is answered in 14a where Solomon said, ‘The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity.’ The only way that you can survive a wounded spirit is by having a healthy spirit. One who has a healthy spirit has a strong relationship with his Bible and prayer. In Bible study God talks to you and through prayer you talk to God. It is called fellowship. Proverbs 17:22 Solomon said, ‘A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.’ A proper devotional life is the medicine that creates a merry heart that will sustain you and I during the time of a wounded spirit.
